Mendel used the term hybrid when referring to a trait with two unlike alleles.
Mendel used the term "homozygous" to describe two identical alleles in an individual and "heterozygous" to describe two different alleles in an individual for a specific gene.
hybrid
One of the allels for a trait to it's offspring.
The answer is: hybrids
dihybrid crosses
Dihybrid crosses
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.

The blood type in humans
Mendel created Punnett squares to determine how traits and their alleles are inherited together. This tool allowed him to predict the outcome of specific genetic crosses by showing the possible combinations of alleles from the parental gametes.
